How much did Spanish California officials earn?
score:5
According to Martha Ortega Soto, Alta California, una frontera olvidada del noroeste de M茅xico 1769-1846, in 1773 the commander earned 4000 pesos per year, the captain 3000, a sergeant 450, a corporal 400, and a soldier 300, but payment was made mostly in goods -including horses, guns, equipment, food, contribution for reparations and pensions/insurances-. I guess that only the officials -and maybe the master artisans that served at the presidios: carpenters, smiths, etc...- were really well paid for their jobs.

The first two images below are samples from a book which appears to be a record of payments in kind made to soldiers in the San Francisco Presidio in 1817, which perhaps confirms the suggestion in the question that they were unpaid during the war.
The document in the following images appears to show the payments made to the officers and men in the San Francisco Presidio for the period 1 January 1828 to 31 March 1828. This is of course outside the period of Spanish rule but I believe the Presidio was still manned by the same personnel as before Mexican independence in 1821.
The above documents form part of the Vallejo Family Papers collection reference BANC MSS C-B 441 at The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley.
